Boxing great Mike Tyson still chuckles about the day he faced off with his estranged wife Robin Givens' new man Brad Pitt at her home.

The fighter was hoping to "sneak in" a quick sex session with his ex before filing divorce papers, and he was not expecting the actress to have company when he called round.

Tyson told Yahoo sports anchor Graham Bensinger, "I guess Brad got there earlier than I did... I was getting a divorce, I was going to my lawyer's office... but I wanted to sneak in a quickie... Before I would go to my lawyer's office to say she's a pig ... I would go to her house and have sex with her. This particular day someone beat me to the punch."

It was awkward at the time, but Tyson insisted he doesn't hold a grudge: "I hope Brad don't (sic) think I'm mad at him... I was mad as hell (at the time). You should have saw his face (sic) when he saw me!"
